- Our first chairman was Maja Fjaestad.

The original idea was to strengthen the local production and the position of handicrafts in society, and that is no less important today, says Joel Stuart-Beck.

Celebrate with exhibition

To celebrate the anniversary year, an exhibition will be organized at the Rackstad Museum in Arvika this summer, where visitors will be able to see handicrafts from the past and present. 

Later in the autumn, an exhibition will also be held at Värmland's museum in Karlstad, where the focus will be on various workshop processes in arts and crafts.
